Falling to pieces
It's another rant post.
It's a Friday, slow day. SNOWY wintry messy day. But my school district, unlike every other one in the area, remains open.
I had lunch plans with L today, which means taking an extended lunch and making up the time along the way, and has not been an issue in the past.
But today being a snowy day and NOT closing early, as a contractual staff member I couldn't leave early, and if I took the extended lunch I would have to stay too late to make it to my appt. with MGF.
So I had to not go to lunch.
And then all the hourly staff were sent home. Ok, whatever, and we are told we can prolly leave by 3pm.
I opt to not take any lunch at all so I can leave a little earlier than that for sure so I know I have time to get to MGF safely.
It is now 1:30, and we are ALL being sent home now, not even 45 minutes after I missed my lunch date, and therefore would NOT have had to stay late or return to school afterward.
Fury does not cover it, but I have to be professional about it?
And now I HAVE to leave, with an hour to kill before leaving for MGF?
Someone must have bit my karma puppy, because this feels personal somehow.**
I didn't get real sleep last night. Even after trying to get to bed early, did not make it in until near 12:30am. Then R was wandering around in that "restless pay attention to me" sort of manner which eventually led to the "I'm lonely and scared why do I have to go to bed alone" scenario which led to Brit kowtowing (I know, maybe it was the best choice kiddo; I am not mad at you) to R and going in to sleep on his bed. Which is a pretty much sleepless night.
And I really needed sleep going into today's session. I so want to run away instead of face MGF and continue from Wednesday. And yes, I will be posting (some of) that and today's ramblings when I get home later. I may as well; I doubt it would be wise for me to go north at 7pm for skate practice, so I will be cooped up anyway... *weak smile*
I hope all who see this are well, safe, warm and at peace.
**Yes, I know it's not, and not even that big a deal, but...
